Recent articles about Nate Ticeen-usChryst Only KnowsOver the weekend while rumors percolated that House was looking more and more likely to be promoted to the DC postion; I noted on twitter that it seemed to be the sort of move that feeds the perception that Coach Paul Chryst only wanted to hire/work with other coaches that he knew on a personal level.
That assumption was challenged. Actually, it was disputed with the claim that “several Pitt coaches” never worked with Chryst. So, I wanted to be fair. Maybe it was merely my own mistaken perception. Maybe the whole Wisconsin in Pittsburgh meme got carried too far and created a false reality. I figured it was time to review the coaching staff and find see what reality says.
First, let’s review the Paul Chryst bio/timeline:

1989-90 — West Virginia, graduate assistant
1991-92 — San Antonio Riders (World League of American Football), wide receivers, running backs, tight ends

The defense also played well, giving up just one score early in the game and keeping the Huskies to under 250 yards of offense.
The powers that be seemingly didn’t want Badger fans at home to see the game, blacking it out on local television after the game wasn’t sold out and for reasons pertaining to NIU’s TV contract. But anyone with access to ESPN3 got to witness the powerful Wisconsin performance.
Despite two penalties on its opening drive, the Badgers scored in just four plays when QB Russell Wilson hit WR Nick Toon for a 12-yard TD. Wisconsin also had two penalties on its next drive and K Kyle French missed a 50-yard field goal, setting up NIU with good field position for a quick drive that led to their only score of the game.
